| DESCRIPTION | The project requires the student to methodically address an open-ended problem within the various themes related to Biomedical Engineering for which the aims and objectives are defined by the project proposal, approved by the Board of Studies prior to the commencement of the project. The project proposal program of work is delineated and carried out in a structured way while the students' advancement will be regularly monitored by the project supervisors. The type of work produced, design, experiments, simulation, analysis etc will depend on the project specification and will constitute a defined subset within the area of study currently under investigation. Towards the end of the academic year the student will deliver an oral presentation on the project and submit a dissertation. Feasibility of each project will be evaluated and the Bench Fee will be set according to the each project needs. Study-unit Aims: The unit aims to present an independent, collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to the problem in a particular area of study, leading to a synergy of medical, biology, and chemistry science with engineering principles from the taught course under the supervision. Through the objectives that define the project, using review, and investigation work within the area of interest, and critical evaluation of known theoretical perspectives, student will develop an in-depth understanding of the particular area of interest. The type of work produced, design, experiments, simulation, analysis, discussion, and concluding remarks will depend on the project specification. Project findings will be delivered in the form of a dissertation that shall be in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Board of Studies. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Address an multidisciplinary problem in a structured and well-defined manner as demanded by the relevant methodologies; - Develop superior knowledge and provide explanations on the specific problem domain captured by the project. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Describe the work performed during the project in a scientific manner by means of a dissertation; - Deliver scientific/technical presentations on the work performed; - Analyze, design, simulate, test, and provide validation & verification of the multidisciplinary solution. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: Relevant literature will be suggested by the supervisors according to the project proposal. |
